Goal: Pennsylvania academic standards: Social studies, Grade 2

## 1. How Government Works

- [Taxes & Public Services](https://ai.page/c/taxes-and-public-services/index.md): What taxes are and why people pay them; how taxes fund schools, hospitals, roads, and emergency services; that governments decide how to spend tax money
- [Actions and Their Consequences](https://ai.page/c/actions-and-their-consequences/index.md): Understand that actions have consequences — that what you choose to do affects both yourself and other people — and begin to think about what might happen before they act

## 2. Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship

- [Community Rights and Responsibilities](https://ai.page/c/community-rights-and-responsibilities/index.md): Understand their rights and responsibilities as a member of a community — that everyone has a right to be treated with respect and to feel safe, and that with rights come responsibilities to treat others the same way

## 3. Principles and Documents of Government

- [Rules and agreements exist](https://ai.page/c/rules-and-agreements-exist/index.md): Understand why rules and agreements exist — that they help keep people safe, make things fair, and help groups work well together — and follow agreed rules willingly rather than only when being watched
- [Fairness, Equality and Equity](https://ai.page/c/fairness-equality-and-equity/index.md): Understand what fairness means and why it matters — recognising that fair doesn't always mean equal (everyone getting the same) but can mean equitable (everyone getting what they need), and applying this understanding in group situations

## 4. Income, Profit, and Wealth

- [Banks & Saving](https://ai.page/c/banks-and-saving/index.md): What banks do and why people use them; bank accounts as safe places for money; that savings in a bank can earn interest; children's savings accounts
- [What Money Is](https://ai.page/c/what-money-is/index.md): What money is and why we use it; that money is exchanged for goods and services; brief history from barter to coins to digital payments
- [Buying Things](https://ai.page/c/buying-things/index.md): How buying and selling works: prices, paying for items, receiving change; the basic transaction process in shops and markets
- [Jobs People Do](https://ai.page/c/jobs-people-do/index.md): Different kinds of work people do; that people earn money by working; how jobs help the community; linking personal interests to possible jobs
- [Earning Money](https://ai.page/c/earning-money/index.md): Ways that children and adults earn money; the connection between work, skills and pay; that harder or more skilled work often pays more

## 5. Economic Interdependence

- [Buyers & Sellers](https://ai.page/c/buyers-and-sellers/index.md): When someone makes or has something, they can sell it; when someone wants something, they can buy it; introduction to the concept of exchange and transactions
- [Global Trade](https://ai.page/c/global-trade/index.md): Why countries trade with each other; imports and exports; how goods travel around the world; that different countries use different currencies

## 6. Markets and Economic Systems

- [How the Economy Works](https://ai.page/c/how-the-economy-works/index.md): What an economy is; producers and consumers; supply and demand; why prices change; the basics of how markets work
- [Goods & Services](https://ai.page/c/goods-and-services/index.md): Some people make things (goods) and some people do things for others (services); recognising both in everyday life and understanding that both have value

## 7. Interactions Between People and the Environment

- [Your Impact on Others](https://ai.page/c/your-impact-on-others/index.md): Reflect on how your behaviour lands on others — consider not just what you intended but what the actual impact was on the other person
